The Treaty Was Saved Frcm Alrr.cst
Certain Defeat By Messare From
Secretary Hay Opposition Fear Ab
sorption by United States.
Havana, Mtrch 30. The treaty of
reciprocity between Cuban and the
I'niied States was approved at 8
o'clock Saturday night in the Cuban
senate by a vote of 12 to 9. This ap
proval is absolute, and is n t ham
pered by any conditions, the question
able time limit amendment having
been dispensed with after the receipt
of a message from Secretary Hay, in
which it was positively declare! that
President Roosevelt would call a spe
cial session of congress prior to De
cember 1.
The purport of this assurance was
transmitted to the senate by Presi
dent Palnia and read at the beginning
of the session, an understanding hav
ing been reached previously with Sen
ators Hustamente, Capote and Dolz,
composing the majority of the foreign
relations committee, that the objec
tionable condition in the report bo j
eliminated.
Final action was delayed for a Ions ;
time by the discussion of en ninend-
meet offered by Senators Siiliguilly, I
Tamayo and Redo, requiring the house
to rass upon the treaty. Senator San
gullly argued that while the constitu
tion was not explicit upon this point,
that the represenatlves In congress of
the people ought to be consulted t:s
well as the commercial intoro.-t.;,
whose opinions the committee ha I
sought rawly. He cited the actions
of the 1'nited States, and said Cuba
was afraid tint the treaty would be
defeated if submitted to the hotis".
Senator Dolz admitted that this was a
good reason, and quotd the constitu
tion to show that reference to tho
house was not required.
Senator Sangullly, in a long and I'.i
parsiuiied speech against tin1 ratifica
tion of the treaty, impren ivt '.y pic
tured the gradual absorption of Cui
by the 1'nited States, In which be fiMd
the present action was cue step. H."
argued that it was prretically dis
graceful for Cuba to be a parly to such
a scheme. The speaker's v.'it and (.! -qnenee
caused occasiorml bursts of
approving applause frcn the specta
tors, and when he concluded be w:is
greeted with n roiir of applause, l:i
which all the senator? Joined.
The nmcndnicrt requiring the
house to ia"!i on th treaty was do
f. nted by a vote of 5 to 7.
The vote was taken separately on
each section of the substitute report.
